Axiseng, working in conjunction with the client and architects, will lead the mechanical and electrical engineering designs for the substantial expansion after securing the planning permission from An Bord Pleanala in late 2015.

In addition, the development involves new and upgraded hard and soft landscaping which integrates with the existing public realm.

The expansion will allow the centre to compete with other similar sized retail facilities around the M50. Furthermore, the new design will modernise and enrich the contribution of the current centre and will draw new businesses and investments to the local area. The development is expected to create over 300 construction jobs as well as add over 18,500m2 of retail space that will see over 400 new jobs upon completion in 2017.
